Amateur Radio Operator KC5ACR / Astronaut William S.
McArthur, Expedition 12 commander and NASA Space Station Science Officer
talks to students with Ham radio from the Space Station on February 2 and
other dates, 2006.

These recordings were made by N4UJW on passes over Texas using
Radio Shack HTX-212 and a simple vertical Slim Jim antenna. Click the
dated text below to listen. NOTE: You will not hear both sides of transmissions, only
Astronaut McArthur responding on the downlink frequency of 145.800mhz!

International Space Station Flight
Engineer Joe Acaba, KE5DAR, used amateur (ham) radio equipment aboard the
ISS to speak with high school students participating in a summer
program called Women in STEM High School Aerospace Scholars, or
WISH.

The students, selected from across the country, were
attending briefings and engaging in competitive hands-on engineering
activities related to space exploration and research.

Watch video
as Joe Acaba, KE5DAR aboard the ISS speaks with
WISH Students using ham radio station W6SRJ in California in the school in
the video above. Remember
that all of the transmissions from aboard the ISS were made using ham
radio equipmentand frequencies, not NASA or ISS
radio equipment on their frequencies. 2012.

On the 7th of September, 2006 at 16:00 GMT, Suitsat re-entered
the Earth's atmosphere over the Southern Ocean at 110.4? East latitude and
46.3?South longitude. It was over a point some 1400 km south-southwest of
Cape Leeuwin (Augusta), Western Australia.

October, 2008 ISS SSTV AND
AUDIO FILES FROM THE ISS!

SSTV IMAGES - Left side image as received off the air
from the ISS. The right image was enhanced to remove noise
using MMSSTV as shown on the right side above.Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, took off for the International
Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, October 12, 2008, becoming the
sixth private citizen to fly with the Russian Federal Space Agency
(RKA) for a short-term mission on the ISS. Not two hours after he
arrived on the ISS on October 14, Garriott was making ham radio
contacts, just as his father, Owen Garriott, W5LFL
--the first ham to make QSOs from space
-- did in 1983.
